What's Up Wed: Her Olives Anniversary

Hello Poetteers,

I finally got my hands on and read the first volume of Ms. Marvel, No Normal. I don't really read comics but it was cool to read of a muslim character. It wasn't just a side characteristic. It was a big part of what she did, what she is doing, and what she wants to do, etc. I can't wait to read the other comics about her.

My WIP is taking it slow. I'm still on 17k and my goal is still 20k by the end of this week.

Other than that, a year ago today I self published my second poetry collection, HER OLIVES!


Thanks to Tessa for the picture submission!

Love, Fida

Happy book anniversary!

I've never really gotten into comics, but with the popularity of graphic novels, I've had to skim a few--just to make sure they were appropriate for little eyes.

What's up Wednesday

Hello readers, What I'm Reading : I got and read two e-Arcs. 1. Behind the Stars by Leigh T Moore. I gave it 5 stars. The synopsis was left vague which left the story to be unexpected. 2.

I gave it 5 stars. You will find more in depth reviews on goodreads . What I'm Writing : I'm in that two week slump for NaNoWriMo. This weekend I was at 17k. It's been three days and I'm at 18k. Hopefully better days are coming. Lists are very helpfully. I recently learned one way to revise your novel is to write one line about each page you have. It's timely but you get to see what you character or plot point is missing. What Else : Got an award from Jessica at Lunatic Poet , thank you! I have to give seven facts and pass it on to some of my favorite bloggers. - I've been blogging f
